KTN-149 Prince of Wales Bear Viewing

 

 

A Family Friendly Tour

 

No trip to Alaska is complete without bear watching. Some bears have been spotted from cruise ship tours and even in the town of Ketchikan, but it is unlikely that you will see these sly creatures unless you travel on one of our wildlife tours.

 
According to Alaska wildlife biologists, bear watching shore excursions in Ketchikan are your best opportunity. In fact, the highest Black Bear population is found on Prince of Wales Island ("POW" for short). POW is the third largest island territory within the United States, close behind Hawaii and Kodiak Islands, and is only a twenty-minute flight from Ketchikan via floatplane. This island's Black Bear population is the highest in North America and it shows!  Just a short air tour west of Ketchikan, and we'll be in bear viewing heaven.  This wonderful island will serve as our remote destination for these fine guided bear tours.  We will be flying to a quiet watershed where bears are fishing for spawning salmon.  These spawning salmon serve as a summer staple for all Alaskan mammals.

POW is not yet a well-known destination, and our guide is one of the only tour operators permitted by the US Forest Service to operate in this area , which is why it remains such a special destination!  The country's overgrown logging areas and many salmon streams are exactly the habitat that bears require to flourish. It is always a pleasure to fly out to this wild Island where Bears walk confidently. We have put all the odds in our bear viewing favor to create the ultimate cruise ship day tour.
